![]() MICROSOFT USED ITS HOLOLENS TECH TO BRING ‘MINECRAFT EARTH’ TO LIFE Without this machine vision, Microsoft wouldn’t be able to be so ambitious with Minecraft Earth. “To do this, we had to take some of the HoloLens algorithms for capturing images on device and turn them into a point cloud that we can share,” says Jason Cahill, an engineering architect for Minecraft. This allows Microsoft to locate every player in the game and precisely know where they are standing and where to place an adventure for everyone to interact with. Adventures will start off conservatively, and players will walk up to the rough area that Microsoft has designated a place to play. These will mainly be placed nearby where people are often collecting the tapables, and it will be up to the first few players in that area to decide exactly where an adventure gets placed. Once it’s been placed enough times in a safe area, it will persist for new players to simply walk up and start interacting with the adventure.Minecraft Earth uses OpenStreetMap data to bring blocky adventures into real-world settings. The Verge has reported that they had the chance to spend some time with the game, and it plays out exactly as the developers promise: These levels include face-to-face interaction between players and monsters and quest missions. I sat for around 10 minutes creating a Minecraft build where I could see blocks flying onto the structure from someone next to me. They could also see everything I was doing in real time, and we could build together block by block. I could, if I wanted to, also steal my friend’s blocks here to create my own mega building. That introduces an interesting social dynamic because, unlike most games, you’ll be physically next to the person you’re stealing from in the virtual world. You may have to select a menu option or click a button.“In order to steal, you would have to look up and go, ‘Hmm, I’m going to take your blocks,’” says Saxs Persson, creative director of Minecraft.
